Stung by a BEE!!!!!!!

On my way home from potty time this morning a Big Fat Yellow Jacket bit me on my leg. It really hurts!!!! Mommy wants to give me something for it case I am allergic but is afraid to. As some of you know..I am on Prednisone for CMO. Mom wonders if the steroids in the Pred will work like allergy meds. Can someone PLEASE help us. Mommy is more upset about this than I. OUCH!!! It hurts a bit to walk!!

I am not an expert on health matters but do think that if you were allergic that you would already have had an allergic reaction. It is good to keep Children's Benadryl around for just such an occasion. If there is an allergic reaction, it is quick--and results in not being able to breathe--. The Benadryl can ward off those symptoms a bit (I understand)--allowing you time to get to the emergency vet for more involved treatment. Can you get the stinker out? If not, then I have applied a baking soda paste to bee stings I have gotten and that helps. The venom could be in there a few days though=-resulting in stiffness and it does hurt (speaking from personal experience here).
